The way that astronomers learn what elements are present in a given star is by analyzing the light from the star. Different elements have different spectral signatures, and by comparing the light from the stars to the known signatures of the elements, scientists are able to determine which ones are present in the stars.

Can a 500mm telescope see stars?

Definitely, a 500-mm (20-inch) telescope is a large instrument because 500 mm is the diameter of the main mirror or lens, so the telescope would be 3-5 metres long. A telescope this size could see faint stars down to a magnitude of round about 15. Remember that you don't need any telescope at all to see stars. On a clear night in a dark place, you can see a few thousand of them with only your eyes.

How does a telescope help astronomers see more stars?

A telescope has a larger gathering area (the main lens, or the main mirror) than the human eye. This makes it possible to see the light of fainter objects. Another thing the telescope does is to increase angular resolution. This makes it possible, in some cases, to see two stars that are close together as two stars, whereas the human eye would see them as a single spot of light.
